reply to <jbk42@earthlink.net> Hello Fellow "Special K's", I have in front of me the Wayne Co. Township of Spencerville, MI 1880 Census. William Kirwin 52 yrs. Born IRL, works R.R. or K.R. Elizabeth Kirwin(Kelly) 39 yrs. Born IRL, keeping house. Mary J. Kirwin 29 yrs. Single. Born NY, at home. Of course her natural mother is unknown. Gives some clue to her father's migration yet am told he came from Canada. William Kirwin 18 yrs. Born MI, works somewhere, cannot make it out. Single. George H. Kirwin(my GGrandfather) 15 yrs. Born MI. In his 1st marriage, or whatever, he had 2 sons. His 2cd marriage was to Catherine Barrett, my GGrandmother b IRL 1876. George died in 1919 and was a yardmaster on the R.R. I believe he changed the spelling to Kerwin, unless I've been at fault all my 42 yrs., as to how to spell my surname. One of his and Catherine's children is Terrance, my grandfather, b1901 in Toledo, OH and died 1970. Ann Kirwin 10 yrs. Born MI James Kirwin 8 yrs. Born MI Terry Kirwin 5 yrs. Born MI Maggie Kirwin 3 yrs. Born MI If anyone knows of Colleen Kerwin Bach, a descendent of George Kirwin's 1st two sons, PLEASE let me know, for I am told she is well aware of her ancestors. She is a cousin of mine's and myself, well, our brick wall. We know nothing before William Kirwin of IRL. Perhaps this new list will connect a family. Good luck to you all! Respectfully, John Barrett Kerwin Toledo,OH
